An ugly win, but a win nonetheless. After blowing a huge lead and falling behind in the closing minutes, the Warriors rallied behind a pair of clutch plays by Dorrell Wright and solid rebounding by David Lee.

I missed most of this game, and my DVR cut out right after the Knicks had tied it near the end. The endless and-1 procession to the free throw line for the Knicks was depressing, and I thought Reggie Williams was generally woeful down the stretch. Dude needs a confidence booster, stat.

But the Warriors pulled it off: Lee put up his best game as a Warriors in his New York homecoming, and played Amare to a standstill in terms of stats. Monta recovered well enough to play 40 minutes and had a solid game (his kick-out pass to Wright for his big 3-pointer was huge), while Curry did his best to remind the Knicks of what might have been had they been able to leapfrog the Warriors in last year’s draft.

With a quick turnaround before tonight’s game in Chicago, this was a game that would have been a devastating loss if they hadn’t recovered. So kudos to the team for gutting it out, and picking up their first back-to-back road wins since 2007.

Postscript: Along with Anthony Randolph’s scoreless 7-minute performance (no trade regrets tonight!), this was satisfying to read:

Thanks for nothing: Asked about the offseason deal between the Warriors and the Knicks, one New York writer said, “Thanks for the 6-foot-11 guy who can’t play.” No, he wasn’t talking about Ronny Turiaf; he was referring to Anthony Randolph.

Slam!

A great game sadly overshadowed by the late injury to Monta. The fall sure looked strange as hell, and he’s staying in Toronto while the team travels to New York. Sounds like his back is the issue, so let’s hope it isn’t anything too serious. I don’t expect him back on the road trip.

But other than that, nice win! Curry had a season-high 34 points, and carried the team in the 4th quarter — never bigger than right after Monta went out. Warriors are going to need him to go crazy over the next few games, so this better be an indication that he’s starting to get going.

Lee struggled with fouls but still had a double-double with 14 and 12. Biedrins had 8 and 9 but seemed to play much bigger than that. The two led the Warriors back into positive territory in rebounding +/-, which is still the key to a win for this team.

I said before the game that the bench needed to come up big tonight, and they did from early on. Jeremy Lin and Brandon Wright gave quality minutes in the first half that gave the starters some needed rest — a needed statement from both of them.

After the debacle last night in Detroit, this was an impressive bounce-back and the strongest statement yet in Smart’s young career.

On the back end of a back-to-back, after a dreadful night in Detroit, the Warriors need a bounce-back game in the worst way. What to look for:

  • Lee Bounce-back. Lee has been terrible in the Warriors’ two losses. I think a double-digit rebounding game from Lee is necessary for a Warriors win on the road.
  • Curry Bounce-back. Curry has been a bit slow coming back from his ankle injury, culminating in 10 points on 3-12 shooting last night (0-3 from deep). The Warriors need him to take care of the ball and become an integral part of the offense once again.
  • Bench Bounce-back. After a collective -28 last night, here’s to hoping that the bench can give the team something positive tonight when they’re likely to really need it (especially since Monta played 45 minutes last night).

Just heard that Curry will be playing, so let’s hope he doesn’t aggravate the ankle right before the long roadie. What to look for tonight:

  • Curry’s Defense. I’m fairly worried about Curry guarding Deron Williams with a bum ankle, so we’ll see what sort of help the Warriors give him throughout the night. If they can do a decent job of containing Williams, they’ll be in great shape to win the game.
  • Matchup at the 4. Paul Millsap is having a great season so far. Can David Lee match him tonight, and maybe even play a little bit of defense? Lee missed a ton of putbacks in the last game, so if he can start converting those things could really open up for him.
  • All-Star Monta. This is the sort of game where the Warriors will probably need a little bit extra. Assuming Curry is unlikely to be the difference-maker tonight, can Monta make sure the Warriors take a solid start into their first long road trip of the year?

Fantastic game for Monta — he willed the Warriors to a victory down the stretch tonight and finished with 39 points, 8 assists, and 9 rebounds. Dorrell Wright also deserves special mention as he was the glue that seemed to hold everything together tonight, making open threes and finishing with 25.

Reggie Williams did a nice job filling in for Curry, coming off the bench to score 16 points with 9 assists. And David Lee had a nice comeback game with 15 points and 16 rebounds.

Biedrins was fairly quiet statistically, though his lone bucket was a good one.

In terms of rebounds, the Warriors were back on top in the rebounding battle, with 48 to the Grizzlies 39. So far this season, winning the rebounding battle has 1.0 correlation with winning the game.

Nice win overall, especially with a road trip coming up. They proved they can win without Curry, and did a nice job responding to Memphis’ runs throughout the game (the late third quarter excepted).

The Warriors get a 1-2 Memphis team on the tail end of a back to back (they played the Lakers last night), and with a long road trip coming up they need to get this one any way they can. Curry, as expected, is out. What to look for:

  • Return of Lee. Anything would be better than what he put in against the Lakers, but Memphis’ front line has pretty good size (though Zach Randolph is out). I’d like to see him silence any doubters and go right back to putting up double-doubles every night.
  • Replacing Curry. Lin had 15 solid minutes at the Lakers, but can he really be relied on? I much prefer Monta off the ball, and thought Williams did well in that final preseason game. Will be interesting to see what happens here.
  • Rebounding. The Lakers game was the first where the Warriors were out-rebounded, and also the first they lost. Will this relationship continue?

After a solid win against the Clippers on Friday, and with Curry back home in Oakland nursing his sore ankle, I look at this as a game that the Warriors are playing with House money. They’ve won the two games so far that they “should” win, and tonight’s game is definitely outside of that category.

So have some fun, and let’s see how the Warriors new front line does against one of the better sets of big men in the league. Can the Warriors win the rebounding battle for the 3rd straight game?

This will be brief as I missed the game and have been distracted by work and Giants. But aside from the injury to Curry, this was a great all around game. Monta deferred, Dorrell stepped up, and Lee powered the team to another victory for the Warriors in the battle of the boards.

Like with the opener, this was the sort of game the Warriors need to win to have a shot at the postseason. Now they can play with house money down in LA tonight.

Not much to say about this one, except to hope that Curry gets well quickly. The starters just got destroyed — check out the +/-’s — putting the game out of reach by the end of the first. Most disappointing was seeing David Lee do his best “Warriors starting 4 for the past decade” impression.

Hopefully the silver lining from last night is that the reserves — including Jeremy Lin — got some extended run and didn’t look half bad. Now they have Memphis to look forward to, in a game that takes on added importance as it comes right before heading out on a long road trip.

But yeesh — definitely a long ways to go before they can hang with elite teams like the Lakers.

Time to take a break from the glorious Giants and watch the Warriors in their second game of the year against the perennial doormat Clippers. Except that now these Clippers feature a rookie who is capable of completely dominating inside.

Thankfully for the Warriors, the Clippers aren’t even running plays for Blake Griffin yet. But Lee and Biedrins will still have their hands full with the guy who’s season-ending knee injury last year opened the door for Steph Curry and Tyreke Evans to pretend that they’re the best players in their draft class. Keys to the game:

  • Interior Defense. Can the Warriors keep Blake from doing a Luis Scola impression? I think the main key here is defensive rebounding — Griffin is all about raw physical skills right now, and will likely do most of his damage on fast breaks and put backs. The Warriors need to make sure they’re getting a body on Griffin on every shot attempt.
  • Interior Defense. Baron Davis is expected to repeatedly try to post up Stephen Curry. Can Curry hold his ground and at least force Davis to make tough shots? The Warriors aren’t inclined to give Curry much help lest Davis make them pay with a pass to the open man, so let’s hope that bum ankle is feeling strong tonight.
